Art Sketchbook & Journal – Video 4

This is an example of one of my art journals where I keep my sketches, ideas for paintings, and a record of things that I see like plants which I want to save for later. The paper used is 165gsm white drawing (not cartridge) paper from Daler Rowney and it can take wet medium really well without buckling.

Additional pages have also been inserted in as I went along. Instead of rebinding the journal, I would just tape or stick these extra pages in.

It adds up over time

I have several of this type of art journals which I have accumulated over time. But I don’t think I will show them all.

Clarity through journalling

As always, I am a great advocate of using the journal as a tool to gain clarity into our lives especially when used with the 3Qs: What is the meaning of my life? Who am I? What do I want?
